I read the reviews on the way here and was a bit nervous about eating .. but let me tell you .. it's pizza, wings and flat bread we order .. and it was FANTASTIC .. big juicy flavorful wings ( korean spicy ) ( garlic parmesan ) ( honey sirracha ) Italian Supreme which I ordered incorrectly from not reading the menu, and the waitress was bending over backwards trying to help me correctly mistake .. I assured her it was ok not to worry ( I thought I ordered a round supreme pizza but it was a persona
This was our first time at this Main Event and we had an amazing time!! Our first stop was the Family Kitchen and I'm so glad we ate here!! Our waitress was Courtney and she was phenomenal!! Made it feel like we were in a 5 star restaurant!!! Her Customer Service is top tier and we are just so very grateful!! We will be back and we will always ask for Courtney!! Stephanie the manager is amazing also and Donald was great a well!! You guys go visit this main event and their Family Kitchen!! It's great!! Fo
Staff were awesome, especially manager Dylan. He was kind and very informative. We were not able to reserve birthday package due to the amount of guest but Dylan helped us find the best way to have fun and celebrate my son?s birthday . Thanks to Dylan everything turned out great and we had an awesome time!
My favorite place to take my 8 year old when we want a fun day, because I get to have fun too! The event staff is WONDERFUL?Kasey Ribble and Tiffany Trevino in the sales office were so patient and helpful when I booked my son?s party. They customized the package to include Michael?s favorite things (that King Kong VR thing is awesome), didn't bat an eye when I requested a date change for the party, not to mention working with me on additional accommodations I requested. Not to mention how happy they were to
I think I caught the second strain of covid there LOL but other than that we had a blast. Laser tag was fun. Bowling was as expected And the games though they took a lot of credits or decently priced nine adults had fun at a kids birthday party.
Just realize that Monday nights are not combined. Meaning, you can do all the activities OR you can do all the games (minus the prize games and VR). But, it was still a good deal and it kept us entertained for 4+ hours. Didn't order any food... ridiculous prices, and there was no free water. The atmosphere was amazing and loud. Can't complain too much about the service, they were very kind and helpful. You may have to wait a few minutes to get setup for your activity due to not a lot of staff but, it's wort
Mrs. Carolyn that work in Cafe area! She is so nice and sweet. Her personality is great. She definitely kept a smile on our face with her sense of humor. We always enjoy seeing her. Overall the Main event is a great place to go!
Vinny was a great help. When I was lost he showed me around and made sure I knew where to go. He also helped me with the register. Terrell in the point exchange area helped me so much with the prices of things, he was a lifesaver. The workers really make this place a friendly enviroment, beyond the arcade. The atmosphere was amazing too, I am definitely going here again. Take your kids here if you want a fun weekend!
Robert was amazing. Robert was sooooooooooo helpful. He made our experience magnificent. He helped us when the machine broke and with all the games. Robert was a 10/10 employee.
Certainly! Here's a Google review for Main Event in Beaumont, Texas: --- Had an absolute blast at Main Event in Beaumont, Texas! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement. The variety of activities is incredible?bowling lanes were top-notch and the arcade games were so much fun. The laser tag was a definite highlight; intense and thrilling! The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The food and drinks were great too, perfect
Rented a private bowling room for 2 hours for my daughter?s 10th birthday and I had the worst customer service ever. Food wasn't ready they didnt bring napkins or forks I felt like I was the waiter cause I kept having to go find her for service. Will never have a party over there no more . Will not recommend renting the private room for a party .
This was my 1st visit. Conveniently located by my hotel, I was able to walk over. All of the staff was friendly from beginning to end. My son and I had lots of fun, and our friends did as well. Will be back to try more food and games.
This place is so fun for adults. Had a freaking blast! Definitely will be returning ASAP! The bartender was amazing. Super patient with my son who just turned 21 when he was trying to figure out what he wanted. Even let him try a couple things first. And he made the BEST drinks! Strawberry Mohito was the best I've ever had.
Main event was absolutely wonderful. Robert made the experience worth it. He helped us countless throughout the night with our questions. If we fell down, he picked us back up. He also helped me learn how to play laser tag and was overall a fantastic person with a great personality.
Great experience! So much to do for adults and kids, the food is great, very clean, wonderful staff! We absolutely LOVE coming here!
Madison had a full bar by herself and held it down like a Boss!!! Never dropped the ball and kept the drinks rolling. I've had Long Island Ice Teas all over the world, and hers rank in the top. We had the party room with the 3 bowling lanes, and Jakory was our host. He took care of all 25 of us. We never had to ask for anyone because he was watching and already handled it!!! The way they took care of everything that was happening at one time and still handled the other guess, the ranking system should be hi
My son and I come here ofter and we always have a great experience. The staff at the Family Kitchen are so nice and they always go above and beyond to make my son happy. Ruben, for as busy as he was, was very attentive and got everything out fast! Great place to go with family and friends and will always recommend Main Event.
I was initially going to leave a negative review but I must say Darius in the prize center turned our frown upside down! They had several other employees that were amazing as well. I know times can be hectic and sometimes we just have to step back and breathe. Their staff is 5 Star!!!
Main Event is here! Filled with video games, bowling and a fun game of laser tag. Bring your family, friends or come by yourself to enjoy this entertainment! There is a formal restaurant area, a fun dining area or you can eat while you bowl. Bar area for fancy drink choices.
Although we waited 20 minutes to be acknowledged by the girl at the bar, another nice young lady assisted and made our night .Her name is Hope and she was very pleasant and helpful . Boneless wings were cold and not so good however the nachos were seasoned and on point . The rest of the staff were great . I played some of the games and may return another time to bowl .
Enjoyed my grandsons birthday party that was held here this evening! Clean, organized, and very friendly attentive servers for the entire evening, the pizza was great! Special kudos to Evelyn!
We were a walk-in for my son's birthday party. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. They even brought us pitchers of drink even though we didn't have a reservation. Carolyn was our server. She was so helpful and wonderful. She even helped us find one of our kids that was lost. I can't say enough about how great it is to have a birthday party here
DO NOT GET TAY AS A HOST FOR A BIRTHDAY PARTY!! We celebrated my daughter's birthday and Tay was our host. The party started at 230 and our guest started arriving. We didn't start bowling till almost 3. Waiting to see which lanes we were getting and getting shoes. As kids are bowling I'm checking to make sure we good on pizza and even added 3 more pizzas. While at the table Tay comes and say they having a review contest and says can I leave a review and get my parents to do so as well. I tell him ok and k
Amazing place that offers lots of fun games for all ages. My favorite was the VR (virtual reality) games. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a weekend activity!
GREAT PLACE!! FUN GAMES! GREAT FOOD! I'm so happy they have a main event in Beaumont! When you eat inside the restaurant ask to be seated with Aly!!!! She is AMAZING and very passionate about her job! You will NOT regret it!
Harley at the bar was great. Working before her shift to help a busy bar.
Some machines are broken, with no sign on them so you waste your money. They are good about refunds though. The prizes you get are pretty cheap. Bowling is fun with different bowling game modes to keep it interesting even for people who are not good at bowling. The pool tables are kind of hidden in the restaurant, but they were good tables.
Great fun, and top notch service. They use too much salt on the food but other than that we had a great time bowling and playing games.
Caroline was our waitress and she did a fantastic job! She had us laughing and was very friendly. Will definitely request her again!
This was absolutely pathetic. No one working the floor stood at the entrance waiting for 5 minutes just to be seated. Never got a refill no ranch for wings after it was offered. If it wasn't for my nephews wanting to come I would have been gone after the wait.
Carolyn was amazing, and fun she was very attentive to my entire group showing us were everything was at and very helpful to make sure we had the best experience possible.. she is a asset to the Main Event team. Give her a raise she deserves it.
Awesome place to be at. Very good food, arcade games, and staff. This place is a good spot to have a birthday party at.
It was my son and myself first time going here. My son has been looking forward to coming here since it was being built. There isn't much to to do here in Beaumont, So it was a nice change of scenery, without having to travel far out of Beaumont. Convenient, The staff was amazing and very Accommodating and they attended to every need. The facility itself very clean , restrooms very clean. We enjoyed ourselves very much. The money was worth it.
Food is abysmal. Pretzel stick appetizers were so done that they were very hard. Burgers were super bland. The rest of the place was the typical child casino arcade for tickets for prizes games. All were priced too high. And the prizes were bad. Bowling was way too expensive. Even shoe rental for an hour was almost 5 bucks. It was a fun environment, and I'll probably go back with my child at some point just cause she will want to. We will eat elsewhere first. All staff was friendly and helpful.
This is a great place for families, date night, guys night, or even just ladies night! This time it was just me and the boys. They had Lemonade and I had a frozen Strawberry ?? Margarita ??. To start the evening off, we tried the waitress' suggestion: the Loaded Fries as the appetizer. OMG!!! They were so delicious! Perfectly seasoned fries topped with melted cheese, green onions, and little pieces of bacon! Then, my oldest son had the Double Bacon Burger. It looked like fresh, grass-fed ground beef, as t
Mrs.Carolyn and Jay was soooo great to me!!! They are so nice and did a great job with my drinks. I didn't get any food this time but I don't like food here
Went for my son's birthday and had an amazing experience. Highly recommend 10/10??????
Clean, family friendly, lots of seating, and various games to play. The food is a bit pricey, so we didn't eat there. Bowling was great, but the seating was a bit scrunched.
It was very fun family night. Annabeth, Makayla, and Jaz were amazing. Really want to thank them for their hospitality. The original OG?s out ???
My only complaint was sticky tables even after being cleaned, oh and if I'm paying 7.99 for a drink the glass should be full and the sugar rim should go all the way around it not just where I would put my mouth.
Yesterday we went for the first time for a party, our host and or the kitchen was very slow. When the food came out, the chicken was delicious, but the mac & cheese was not it. We sent it back immediately and the manager was very nice. The atmosphere looked clean and fun. We hope to have a better experience the next time we visit.
Robert was unforgettable, he made our experience so fun, he was very helpful and so kind, he played laser tag with us, hung out with us and was a amazing person and had a great personality!!!
Monday Madness is $12.99 for unlimited arcade games and that was pretty cool. Food was alright, environment was fun and chill. Worth checking out if you're in the area.
We had an incredible time at main event! My son had a blast, and we also enjoyed a meal. Our wonderful waitress, Courtney, provided us with excellent customer service and she was very down to earth. I will definitely recommend this place if you need something to do in Beaumont!
The new establishment was nice, and clean. The employees were very nice, courteous, and eager to help. We'll definitely be returning. Thanks Beaumont, for showing us a good time.
This is an amazing place for parties, family and friends. The deep dish pepperoni pizza is sooo delicious!
The arcade itself is fantastic. Before going to play games though we wanted to eat. The service was awful. The waiter was more interested in playing around and trying to make jokes than actually serving our table. Took almost an hour and a half to get our food and when our food did come our order was wrong and something was missing. Took another 20 minutes for the missing item to finally come out. The food was awful. Pizza was either burnt or undercooked and chicken strips weren't cooked all the way. We wil
All I have to say is that these 6 wings and 3 celery sticks with one small container of watery ranch was $18 before tip?and no they're not any bigger than they look and on top of that they never even refilled my very unsweet sweet tea one time even though it was empty more than an hour?I didn't get a chance to play any games but if ur counting on decent food don't bother.
I am having a great time and food was delicious. Carolyn brought my food fresh and hot. Plus, she was so sweet. I recommend this place for family fun!
Went for my daughters 6th birthday and we had an amazing time! Food was great and the servers were nice!
It's been a while since we've been to Main Event it was great. But then last weekend we brought the kids to have fun. My bf and I wanted just a quick slice of pizza, but there was no employees working in that area to where you buy ice cream, pizza and other food. The young lady said "oh, you'll have to go to the bar because we have no one working". Went to the bar Keaton or Keston was very helpful. He was wondering why there's no one on the other side working... like he had that look on his face. It's fun
Have been twice during the week before 4pm. Love that it's not super packed during those time. I can't imagine how packed it get when kids are off of school. I have never been bowling because it seems pricey. I enjoy the selection of games. When having an issue with a game I felt like we were an inconvenience to the staff member who helped (but didn't really help) We will be back again and hope for better service next time. I do want to mention that the worker who helps load cards has been extremely helpful
Went here for a date and it was fun! Wish they had more games though, most of them were just that game where you push coins off a little ledge.
Had my son's 9th birthday here and it was great. The party host was great and help with everything. She was able to answer all our questions. Bowling and the games were a great time for the kids.
Great service amazing food Jacob and carol took great care of us and made sure we were taken care of.
My wife and I went to main event for our son?s birthday and everyone was very informative and polite. Thank you Carolyn and Terrence for giving us great service while dining in.
me and my girlfriend were visiting main event last friday and we had a blast! we played games & we ate in the restaurant. we were sat by amari whom was very sweet & we asked her to sit where we could see the tvs and she did. we also bowled & all of the bowl attendants were very helpful. i would definitely recommend going here for a date.
Mediocre at best. Half the staff is hanging out in the restroom and almost impossible to find help. Super inattentive management. Just like most places in Beaumont, this place has taken a major decline.
Food was ok. Service was horrible took forever to get served and then orders weren't correct
Carolyn was a huge help! She helped me find my kid. :) hahahaha (he wasn't actually lost but yes she was very helpful with setting up his party)
The BEST main event experience EVER! We usually go to the one in Dallas and it's the typical play games, eat and go? This team was so hands on and showed us around the venue?truly tailoring a unique experience. Jay was walking in, hadn't even clocked in yet and totally stopped to assist me at the kiosk and then again with the marvels Photo Booth. He was so selfless and helpful! JSTRO!!!!!!! Was absolutely AMAZING! He was so sweet to my family and truly made my lil man?s day! He was so helpful and just showe
It's got to be hard to run a place this size but it was pretty clean and my whole family had fun.
Worst place ever to have a birthday party do not book your kids parties here. the party host wasn't present during the party at all had to keep asking random workers to locate her, which made me have to host the party myself and it was very difficult for me to enjoy my child?s birthday with him. Total waste of money and time would NOT recommend.
It was a good time bowling with my friends! The place was clean and well-maintained. We had six different kinds of pizzas, that I know of, and each of them was delicious. The staff that helped with the lanes were friendly and helpful. Thank you very much for helping us have a good time!
Had a fun double date here. We got the all you can play passes for bowling, pool, shuffle board and laser tag. We played for about 3 hours!
Had my daughters birthday here and our server Mike J made our experience worthwhile. He was great at accommodating our large group. Food was great! Lots of games to play my daughter did not want to leave. Will be back we all had so much fun!
#DateNight We enjoyed ourselves. Music was diverse and awesome. We danced and watched the kids dance and have fun!! Will go back again!!
Robert was the best worker when I was crying he made me feel better and he helped me in laser tag he was the best person and the sweetest person ever
Awesome place, lots of fun for all ages.
The service was wonderful. The food was wonderful. The games are fantastic! Thank you Carolyn and Cameron for making the dining experience great!
First town they're great experience with my two oldest birthdays they celebrated their I drove 3 hours there I'm impressed
Great set up, great atmosphere, very clean. Food is good and what you would expect from a place like this. Machines are well maintained. Servers are very polite and friendly. The service is abysmal. Without exaggeration it's the worst in Beaumont. Inattentive, forgetful, and meandering. Also, our 3pm lane reservation was pushed to 3:45 while we waited and weren't offered a reason why. Clearly this is a management issue. They can feel free to breach out to me.
Service has gotten progressively worse. Service at the restaurant was terrible. Waitress only came to take my order and to take my money. Had to go get my own silverware, never got a refill, ended up just sharing the rest of my daughter's drink. They weren't busy. Then later after spending a fortune on games I ordered a bowling lane. It said there was no wait. So we then proceeded to WAIT. There was NO ONE bowling at all except for a few staff members. We gave it 20 minutes or so before I asked for a refund
We were there for my son's 7th birthday last Saturday (July 20th). Our waiter - Julita - was very rude! She appeared annoyed that the manager accommodated my son's birthday to take place on the restaurant floor instead of one of the rooms dedicated to events. We had to cancel the room reservation at the last minute because all the people invited were no longer coming, so it was just 4 of us. Julita rushed us to order, and she rushed us to pay (about 8 minutes after the food was served, she brought us the t
Main event was so awesome today! My son and I had attended a birthday party today that Carol assisted in. With her help everything ran so smoothly!
Not in a great park of town. Be vehicles get broken into and they don't have very good camera or security patrolling the parking lot.
Order four simple meals , Loaded fries , fries looked and tasted old , cheese was nasty and was overbearing with a little bit of bacon bits,And that was it. Also we ordered macaroni and cheese it looked old and they served it in an extra small bowl. Also we ordered nachos that had a ton of chips and a spoon full of hamburger, cheese and green onions. Lastly we ordered chicken wings that where just ok but for the wait they where cold and I give four out of six to my kids because they didn't eat there food. P
Where do I begin...? A smile goes a long way. Don't expect one if you come here. My wife and I came to main event in beaumont, for the first time, with another couple for a double date. We eventually figured out how to begin, but there was no one to guide us when we arrived. We finally decided to rent a bowling lane for an hour and we're placed on the waitlist. So, we went to check on our queue and we were about 4 names down. We decided to eat food while we waited for our turn for a bowling lane. Ther
Had a lot of fun! Great for birthday events. This place is for all ages!
We had such great experience here! We booked the private room for a birthday party and the food was excellent and the hostess was so helpful to me every step of the way. The managers came in every few minutes to check on us. Our kids and their guests had a blast. Will definitely use them in the future for events.
Everything was great. The pizza was actually impressive. So many modern arcade games for the kids to enjoy including a few VR games. The kids loved bowling and laser tag as well. I am planning a corporate even for next month to host a meeting and team building event. Looking forward to bringing our team together for fun and I know MainEvent will not disappoint!
The Birthday Party went well! All the kids had a Blast!
Had my sons first birthday here! It was just ok. I think the guest had a good time, but it was a little chaotic. I didn't realize they have you on an itinerary when booking a birthday party. I figured we would just do and eat whenever we wanted. They had us all move to the blowing lanes at a certain time. Then mid play, had everyone take off their shoes and move back to the table to eat. It just made everyone confused and all trying to get back and fourth places due to a schedule. They were very very nice
Good atmosphere for kids to have fun. Veriety of computers and interactive games . I think it is good to visit once. I did not dine at the restaurant.
Ruben was my server for my nieces birthday party, and he was excellent! I will absolutely be requesting for him next time. I wanted to let a manager know how good of an experience we had with Ruben and Clarissa was incredibly nice and helpful as well. I will return soon!
This review is for the restaurant area. We have been there twice and it was absolutely awful service. Last night will be the last time we go. We waited for 40 minutes for our order to be taken because our waiter disappeared in order to attend a mandatory meeting. We could see all the employees in the room which ironically had a screen up that said something along the lines of "Responsibility of a server". Which was pretty damn ironic. Here you leave a customer on the floor while having a meeting on how to b
Great experience with great employees! Jakob and Dillon made sure to check on my group to ensure our visit was a 10/10!! Food came out fast and good and all games worked perfectly with no problem. Dillon is so fine ;)
What an amazing arcade! Took our three year old and our 2 year old nephew and they had a blast. Most games they needed a little help with but it was fun for them even if they didn't win. We got $50 worth on our play card and that was more than enough for the both of them to play on for two hours. The restaurant has delicious food and the service was wonderful! All of the employees were very nice and helpful. Will most definitely be back. Kids were asleep before we even made it back on to the interstate!
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
